家庭笑話：7、 Be careful of what you wish for 小心你所許的愿

7. Be careful of what you wish for

A couple had been married for 35 years and were celebrating1 their 60th birthdays, which fell on the same day.

During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple for all 35 years, she would give them one wish each.

The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved2 her wand3, and Boom! She had the tickets in her hand.

Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, and then said shyly, "Well, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me."

The fairy picked up her wand, and Boom! He was ninety.

Notes:

1. celebrate 慶祝

2. wave 揮動(dòng)，揮舞

3. wand 棍，棒

小心你所許的愿

在歡慶儀式上，一位仙女出現(xiàn)并說因?yàn)樗麄內(nèi)绱硕鲪哿?5年，她決定滿足他們每人一個(gè)愿望。

妻子說想周游世界，仙女揮動(dòng)魔棒，“砰”的一聲響，妻子手上就捏著周游世界的票了！

接著，輪到丈夫了。他停頓了一會(huì)，接著害羞地說道：“呃，我想要一個(gè)比我年輕30歲的女人?！?

仙女拿起她的魔棒，“砰”的一聲響，他變成了90歲。
